FXST Softail Standard

2007 Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2007 Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard pairs a 1573.3 cc (96 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 63 HP (46 kW) while maximum torque reaches 119.2 Nm (87.9 lb-ft) at 2,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 40 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the FXST Softail Standard measures 309.3 kg (682 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (4.91 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 719 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,638 mm (64.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.92-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.43 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 427 km (265 miles) between fill-ups.
